The Trooper Inn

Positive. Room was a reasonable price. Unfortunately it only had a bath. I asked for a room with a shower but I was not allowed to change. This room was booked through my business apparently that was the reason I could not change. I had food and this was very average. The squid was obviously from a packet, battered and deep fried. The squid was rubbery. The stroganoff was apparently made that evening unfortunately it didn’t taste like any stroganoff I’d ever tasted. The hoe made sticky toffee pudding was not good at all. I had some wine. That was good and the staff/owner was a pleasant bar man. The bar seemed inviting. My room apart from the bath was good although the coffee machine should have instructions. Unfortunately I would not stay here again unless there were many changes.

First and last time to the Trooper Inn. They did manage to get us a last minute table for Sunday lunch which was the best I can say. Service for the whole pub seemed to be with one person and as a resuly was not only very slow but also not very welcoming. The food then proceeded to take ages and was not good when it arrived (cold and uninspiring with caulifower cheese left off as they had run out but of course we were not made aware of this!)

Usually closed on a Monday, The Trooper Inn made the right decision to open on a Bank Holiday Monday! I was passing and saw that they were open. Plenty of parking available. Cheerful welcome as I entered, I was served with a smile. Ample choice on the menu, I was easily able to find and order a hearty lunch and sat with my drink at a sunny window table. My delicious lunch was served promptly. A steady stream of passing trade came in after me and as I left more were arriving. I would definitely visit again next time I’m passing the area.

Stayed for 3 nights this week while working away. Can honestly say one of the best places I’ve stayed in a long time the food is great the hospitality is great the owner is friendly and does everything for you if you need it done. Highly recommend anyone who is thinking of staying

I stayed in this hotel for one evening and had a great stay. Everything was as described, the staff were welcoming, informative and very helpful. The room was really nice and I particularly enjoyed the deep bath after a long drive down from Scotland. I had access to the bar for dinner as well and had a lovely meal. The continental breakfast in the morning was very generous with cereal, bread for toast, yoghurts, breakfast bars, fruit, tea, coffee, fresh orange and much more available. Would definitely stay again if in the area and recommend to others.

A very good stay. Room great as always, and immaculately cleaned and serviced by Liz. Beer and wine good, and food choice and quality spot on. Friday pie night a really good idea, and the sausage and mash and Sunday lunches really good. Well run by the new management team led by Chris - very friendly and really helpful. We have stopped here quite a lot over the years and were a little concerned about the change to the breakfast arrangements, whereby there is now a self service continental breakfast rather than the traditional cooked breakfast, but this worked quite well, and provided more flexibility regarding breakfast times. Will be back later in the year.
